I know what you're thinking...

Where the heck has this chick been???

I know, I know...I've been slacking hard. That's not to say that I haven't been exercising, I have. It has just been very minimal and very sporadic. I'm hoping to change that.

First, Ben and I have both put on weight. We're not proud of it, and we want to fix it. We will be exercising together once he gets back from his externship this week. Until then, I have created a randomized exercise plan. Popcicle sticks with daily exercise routines (i.e. 20 minutes of yoga, 30 minute dog walk, etc) that I will strive to do each day. I did include one rest stick, but it can only be used once per week.

Of course, today being the first day of giving it a shot, I pulled the one that I can't do because it requires me to rent a dance video game and Ben is currently in possession of my debit card. :( So, I pulled another one. 30 minute dog walk. Ok, I think to myself, I can do that. Then I remember that I need dish washing liquid because the sink is overflowing and we're out of dishsoap. God, I hate dishes! But, I digress.

I decided that I would take a couple bucks in cash I had lying around and go buy the dishsoap from the store that's a mile away. And I'd walk there, only without the dog. Sorry, Mayhem. What could have been a 15 minute trip to the store by car became an hour for the walking. My back hurt a little, but I think that was because the sidewalk was uneven, but other than that I feel really good! My feet really aren't even bothering me, which is great.

Before anyone asks why didn't I just use the cash to rent the video game, it's because I need dishsoap; I don't need a rental video game. So, anyway, even though I only had to do 30 minutes, I did 60 minutes because I'm just that awesome. :D Also, speaking of awesome, I helped a soldier with a broken foot load his groceries in his car.

That's all I've got today, and I'll have more to share coming up, I'm sure.
